Edouard de Lamaze, president of the Observatoire du Patrimoine Religieux (Observatory of Religious Heritage) in Paris, is sounding the alarm about the rapid erosion of France’s cultural heritage. “One mosque is erected every 15 days in France,” he said recently, “while one Christian building is destroyed at the same pace. It creates a tipping point on the territory that should be taken into account.” Yes, it should be taken into account by anyone, Christian or non-Christian, who is concerned about the future of France. But it isn’t.
According to the Catholic News Agency, “Lamaze’s appeal for increased awareness came after a fire destroyed the 16th-century Church of Saint-Pierre in Romilly-la-Puthenaye, Normandy, northern France. The fire, deemed accidental, took place on April 15, exactly two years after the blaze that devastated Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.” What’s more, “Lamaze told CNA in an interview that in addition to one religious building disappearing every two weeks — by demolition, transformation, destruction by fire, or collapse — two-thirds of fires in religious buildings are due to arson.”
All this was going on, Lamaze noted, against a backdrop of incomprehension and indifference: “The current minister of culture is seeking to establish a protection charter, but the situation is extremely serious and, alas, I don’t see any real awareness growing, nor any sense of responsibility in the face of this crucial challenge for our national heritage.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I wonder what the rate of mosque building with/compared to *Christian buildings being destroyed or barely in use is,in the U.S.?
*I didn’t say churches simply because church basically means assembly of believers which could be anywhere.

here is some links that may help understnad what is happening the last ten years in europe where most mosques are funded from turkey… the sultan called for the most recent islamic killings in public after the charlie heldo cartoons of mohamed were projected in public buildings and charlie heldo made a cartoon of the sultan himself, following the teacher who initially showed the cartoons of mohamed at his school being decapitated….

ofcourse there was an attack with rifles in austria that has a nationalist government as well now also after erdogan called in public for the muslims to punish for the cartoons being projected, published and shown…..
Sabri S. says
France and all of Europe should be and will eventually be MUSLIM…it is inevitable, much like California eventually becoming majority latino/hispanic…the demographics favor Arabs from North africa, and black Africans from the former French colonies. After all, it was the free wealth from these countries that built France in the first place!
BlackSabbath says
Sabri S.
There is no doubt that France benefited from former colonies. However, they also have worked hard to build their economy based on their own abilities. The advancements in science, agriculture, and airspace are pillars of French economy. To say that France was built solely on colonial exploits is dubious at best.

I see the vicious Sabri S. is sneering at civilized people again.
ANd the idea that French colonies built France is utter tosh.
R. Thomasson says
@Sabri. What benefit will Europe generate by becoming Muslim? Tolerating Slavery? General Decrease of IQ level with 15 – 20% among the population due to intermarriages in the family? Turning women into second rate human beings? Children marriage? A total stop of every development in science, medicine and technology? I don’t think that Europe will have any benefit by going back to the medieval world in the next years of the 21th century.

@Sabri S,
Subsaharan Africans are mostly Christian and don’t forget the free thinkers and the apostates from the Islamic religion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT22VoqjpBs.

‘One Mosque Is Erected Every 15 Days in France, While One Christian Building Is Destroyed At the Same Pace’
…………………
Terrifying destruction of Western culture.
Alfredo says
We are witnessing the destruction of centuries of Western civilization by the suicidal refusal to recognize the clear and present danger of allowing uncontrolled immigration by people with an incompatible mindset. What the “soldiers of Allah” could not do by force of arms, because they were stopped by men like Charles Martel. When people were not as confused and misinformed by relentless propaganda as they are now; they were able to mount a successful resistance to the invaders.
Westerners have forgotten history. But the Saracens as they were called then, have not forgotten, they have kept it alive all this time, and their intention is still the same as it was in the past.
Their dream is to conquer the world for their moon god Allah and his prophet…
But this time they are doing it with their women’s wombs; breeding like rabbits.

Minister in Canada arrested for holding a church service and dragged to police car on a highway in Alberta, Canada but the mosque is open.

What does the Muslim Mayor of Calgary have to say about the Ministers being put in jail?
Where are all the Canadian Patriots?
CBC would cover this story BUT
Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown
Stay home, stay safe
And shut the hell up.

Giacomo Latta says
What is worse is that there are no groups called Defenders of Democracy or the like to balance the ideological side of Islam. There is no light shining on democracy as if it can handle all crap that is Islam all on its own.
Crusades Were Right says
When Christianity and national identity are removed from the culture of a Western country, and replaced with “secularism”, “multiculturalism” and “diversity”, the end result will be Islamic tyranny.
Lavéritétriomphera says
The Islamists are frustrated by French and Western secularism on account of the blasphemy law. The Muhammad’s cartoons are a prime exemple.
gravenimage says
Muslims hate Secularism as much as they do Judaism and Christianity.
OLD GUY says
Someone always wants what you have or believes they have the answers for how humans should live. At the present time it seems Islam is gaining the upper hand in human ideology. Once men and women become the devout followers of islam love and peace will fall upon the world. Maybe not so much for the WOMEN who will be sex slaves and no-class citizens of the world as Allah and the great Prophet Muhammad have decreed.
Man I can’t wait for when I can tell my wife to get on her knees and scrub that floor by hand because I’am not going to buy her a swifter, because I want a new Wilson 10.5 degree driver. At my age the sex slaves are not as desirable as another 25 yards in my golf swing would be. Of course under islamic rule golf may no longer be available, as they are not into sports or entertainment. I guess we can all get a copy of the Quran the only book available and read it over and over and over, as there won’t be much else to do. And life will be good, or not.
E T says
Your sexless sex slave will be able to turn the pages for you, and as your eyes fade she will be able to tell you the stories of Allah, how he beat his wives. It will take some getting used to but when you die you will be rewarded.

Golf is Haram according to Islam Q & A, the most widely read Islamic site in English:

Sex slaves are fine, though…
Gourdhead says
If the French weren’t so stupid and gutless they would guard these Christian Churches and shoot the muzlime arsonists that attempt to burn them.
Kepha says
Back in the 1970’s, Saul Bellow observed that much of the West would like to see the last of Christianity. We’ve cheerfuly blasphemed, bowed down to organized perversion (which opens the floodgates to the exploitation of women and children by dominant males, yet we insist on calling this a liberation), and somehow pretend that Islam is oh-so tolerant and multi-cultie. We’ve taught our women and girls that their common cause is with the Muslims and the pervs, not with the men of their own society. The attitude of the French intelligentsia has long been that it was better to be wrong with Sartre than right with Aron We’ve brought it on ourselves.
